-- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!


The fine weather affects some of the gang in

funny ways. Jake Strom of "110" was the

healthiest man in the company during the bad

weather but just as soon as the weather got

nice, Jake goes and gets himself marked

"quarters".


Top Sergeant Carlisle of "117" is considering

holding Reveille in front of the "Y" in the

morning and letting such comfort seekers as

Bobby Prince sit on the comfortable chairs there,

during this ceremony. He found Bobby AWOL

there recently.


Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a

riot at the last camp dance when he was

introduced to a girl who spoke real American.

Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and

could'nt see any one during the two dances he

had with her'.


"Roody" Pelton of "117" is glad to be with

us again, but he sure misses the doughnuts and

cofee that the Red Cross furnished the gang at

St Nazaire.

"Bill" Crowley and Frank White have some

interesting stories to tell about his doughnut

eating feats during their stay at the seaport.


Funny how tastes in souvenirs run. Benny

Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he

brought back a bunch of human bones which

he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.

Original, at least!


A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and

Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before

they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold

and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain

Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt

brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied

that the last time he had brought it, he had

been marked duty and had to go to work on

crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it

without the book for once. He got his pill!


Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.

O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt

take proper care of his command. He wanted

the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his

shoes!!


Corp. James Regan of P.W.E.Co. 240 has just

returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his

whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his

temper has been improved by the trip.


P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is

called the Peace Conference table on account of

the number of nationalities represented at it:

the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.

Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.

Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.

Vitti (Italian) T.E. Theobald (English) and

G.J. Gilbert (French).


Corporal Hocket of "109" is at Nice, taking in

the wonders of the Riviera district and will no

doubt have some wonderful things to tell the

folks along R.F.D. route when he gets back

home.


Private A.O. Wilson is sojourning at Cannes,

Nice and Menton, and "109" is eagearly awaiting

the gruesome details which "AO" is sure to

drag back with him.


Private H.O. Minnick of "109" is taking in the

sights of Paris and incidentially taking in any

stock farms that look good. "Min" is looking

for some blooded stock for his farm in Texas.


Notice to all sick and wounded: After theatre

C.C. & pink pill parties will confide their trou-

bles to Earl M. Jones of the Medics who has

been given the title of Secretary of the Interior

by his associates at the Infirmary.


Mr. Engr. McFarlane of the Band is touring

the battlefileds and "High-Flier" Jack Heins is

the boss of the Melody Mob.



Speaking of entries in contests, company 16

has a man who claims to have won first prize

at a baby show when his age was but three.

Fagerstrom of the Camp Marines says he

believes that the man -- Sgt. "Bull" Durham --

could win a few prizes even now.


Privates John Zinn, Neil Keeler, and Norman

Weaver staged a little party in Paris last week.

Zinn says Kipling must have been in Paris

when he wrote "The City of Dreadful Nights"!

"116" gets his point.


Sgt. Frankenfield, Cpt. Armstrong, Pvts.

Dahlgren, Rife, McKenzie, Brown and Bushman

returned from Nice this week. Everybody in

"116" is wondering how Armstrong found out

about his promotion to Corporal since the order

was issued during his absence. Second sight?


Sgt. Cairnes of the Medics has a hard time of

it. He has to deliver frequent lectures to

Dewey Lennertz and Johnnie Hughes on the

evils of african golf and vin rouge. He usually

winds up by telling Summie to cheer up and

remember that Napoleon was only a Corporal

once.


Its a good thing that Sgt. Buck Parsons of

"119" is an expert swimmer or his obituary would

be in the middle west papers by this time. Just

how and why the Sarge, who has taken his

chevrons off more times than he can count,

came to get mixed up in water buckets is a

secret that only Corp. Beardsley can explain.


Two members of "119" agree that the Battle

of Paris is no childs play. J.J. McConnehey and

"Little Bit" Stamen left for the beautiful city on

a 72 hour pass recently; they returned 40 hours

later, sans raincoats, sans cash, and sans any

desire to take another wallop at Paris.


Sgt. Frank "Cannuck" Stocker of "119" went

on a shopping expedition recently and returned

with what he thought was toilet water. He

could'nt read the French label but he took a

chance. After he had applied it, he took a

walk and met Sgt. G.C Gibbs who is an author-

ity on perfumes, and wondered why Guy was

regarding him so peculiarly. He and G.C. got

together and the result of the conference was

the decision that the toilet water wan'nt -- it

was hair tonic!


Messrs Anderson, Cowan and Mohrman,

members of "110" who are on the Varsity team,

report that Camp Stephenson has it all over any

camp they've visited on any of their tours, and

in every possible way.


Eddie Stanton of "110" claims that Corp. Joe

is a good fellow but not live enough for a

companion in Vichy. He says Joe ought to

team up with "Red" Herring who is fond of

and travels like snails.


It has been rumored that Private Reiche of

,'118" still sleeps in "full dress", he being a

veteran advocate of preparedness, and some-

what cold in his nature  The latest news will

probably cause him to continue in full dress.


Arm in arm, just like brothers, Sergeants

Bauman and Oyler of "118" can be seen any

day. If you see one you see the other. They

look alike, speak alike and are alike in every

possible way, they are inseperables. Their

arguments are amusing, their impressions con-

fusing but they still stick together and every-

body's wondering why!



Lieut. Maurice Dalis of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co. is

in Bordeaux visiting a brother who was injured

at the front. The boys of his company are wor-

ried about him since they've heard about the

battle of Bordeaux from some of the old Forty-

Niners.


Some fellows get laughing ones, some get

crying ones; some want to go home and others

positively refuse to go home, but Pvt. M. B. Cook

of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co brought in an original

species the other night. He entered the orderly

room without knocking and wanted the Top to

help him remember where his old neighbors in

the States lived, he'd forgotten.!


Sgts Grannis and Snyder went and had

themselves classified about a week ago and

have been sitting around ever since, cursing the

whole A.E.F. because they failed to get their

travel orders. Its a tough Guerre on the class

"B" guys. They're still at "121".


Sgt. 1/cl Jones woke up the other night and

discovered Sgt. 1/cl Anderson walking the floor

in his nightie. 'S Matter Andy? Practising up

for the evenings back home? "121" wants an

explanation.


An Ace took all the joy out of life for Red

Swartz when Doc Hillman pulled it in at a cri-

tical moment. The affair threatened to make

these two associates of Sgt Lakes, deadly

enemies.


Top Kicker Larry Gill of Hqrs. Co took in the

Bourges sightseeing trip on Tuesday and reports

having a wonderful time.


Carmen Melillo of Hqrs. has just recently

returned from a lengthy sojourn in his native

land, Italy. Willie tells some tales about Italy

that would sound a little fishy if told about Paris.


A new boarder has been assigned to a seat in

"Stu" Maules Beanery: Frank Roberts of "120"

who was recently promoted to Sgt. 1/cl. and

transferred into Headquarters.


Walter Abrahams of the Band is carrying

round a roll that would choke an army mule,

and holding on to it like a soused brother clings

to the lamp post. "Abe" has been the victim of

considerable kidding about the roll, but he

refuses to divulge the idea for hanging on to it

so close.


Theodore "Pop" Case was the last member

of the Band to report for duty at the dance on

Saturday night, having just returned from Nice.

"Pop" was given a noisy greeting by the gang

when he landed.


Sgt. Harkins and Cook Timsack of P.W.E.

Co. 240, are in Paris and Top Sgt H.E. Daugherty

is in Nice, looking up rules on eating contests.

On their return, negotiations will be opened

with "121" for the matching of Corp. Bloom

with Max Kline in an eating contest for blood.


1st Sgt. Sharp of 2d. Prov. M.T.Co lost his

pistol and a box of cigars. With the Lieute-

nants he inspected the barracks and even looked

in hobnail boots for his Gat. While he was in

bed, some one returned the Gat and the box that

the cigars had been in. It is still a mystery to

the Sarge and he misses the cigars which were

AWOL from the returned box.


2d. Prov. M.T. Co. wants in on that big eaters

contest and puts forward Pvt. Ed Cubuc as its

champ. Ed is press-agented as having a 12

cylinder appetite and no preferences except

plenty of seconds.


Imprimerie Fortin et Cie, Nevers-Paris.


Corporal Ernest A. Fuller commonly known

as the Alabama car-knocker of "118", just re-

turned from a trip to and around the old Front

Lines, and according to the way he describes

the trip, what he did'nt see and what was'nt

there -- that "usta" be there-gives one the

impression that the Germans must have had

quite destructive natures.

    at the front. The boys of his company are wor-

    ried about him since they've heard about the

    battle of Bordeaux from some of the old Forty-

    Niners.


    Some fellows get laughing ones, some get

    crying ones; some want to go home and others

    positively refuse to go home, but Pvt. M. B. Cook

    of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co brought in an original

    species the other night. He entered the orderly

    room without knocking and wanted the Top to

    help him remember where his old neighbors in

    the States lived, he'd forgotten.!


    Sgts Grannis and Snyder went and had

    themselves classified about a week ago and

    have been sitting around ever since, cursing the

    "B" guys. They're still at "121".


    Sgt. 1/cl Jones woke up the other night and

    discovered Sgt. 1/cl Anderson walking the floor

    in his nightie. 'S Matter Andy? Practising up

    for the evenings back home? "121" wants an

    explanation.


    An Ace took all the joy out of life for Red

    Top Kicker Larry Gill of Hqrs. Co took in the

    Bourges sightseeing trip on Tuesday and reports

    having a wonderful time.


    Carmen Melillo of Hqrs. has just recently

    returned from a lengthy sojourn in his native

    land, Italy. Willie tells some tales about Italy

    that would sound a little fishy if told about Paris.


    A new boarder has been assigned to a seat in

    "Stu" Maules Beanery: Frank Roberts of "120"

    who was recently promoted to Sgt. 1/cl. and

    transferred into Headquarters.


    Walter Abrahams of the Band is carrying

    round a roll that would choke an army mule,

    and holding on to it like a soused brother clings

    to the lamp post. "Abe" has been the victim of

    considerable kidding about the roll, but he

    refuses to divulge the idea for hanging on to it

    so close.


    Theodore "Pop" Case was the last member

    of the Band to report for duty at the dance on

    Saturday night, having just returned from Nice.

    "Pop" was given a noisy greeting by the gang

    when he landed.


    Sgt. Harkins and Cook Timsack of P.W.E.

    is in Nice, looking up rules on eating contests.

    with "121" for the matching of Corp. Bloom

    with Max Kline in an eating contest for blood.


    1st Sgt. Sharp of 2d. Prov. M.T.Co lost his

    pistol and a box of cigars. With the Lieute-

    in hobnail boots for his Gat. While he was in

    bed, some one returned the Gat and the box that

    the cigars had been in. It is still a mystery to

    the Sarge and he misses the cigars which were

    AWOL from the returned box.


    2d. Prov. M.T. Co. wants in on that big eaters

    contest and puts forward Pvt. Ed Cubuc as its

    -- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!


    The fine weather affects some of the gang in

    funny ways. Jake Strom of "110" was the

    healthiest man in the company during the bad

    weather but just as soon as the weather got

    nice, Jake goes and gets himself marked

    "quarters".


    Top Sergeant Carlisle of "117" is considering

    holding Reveille in front of the "Y" in the

    morning and letting such comfort seekers as

    Bobby Prince sit on the comfortable chairs there,

    during this ceremony. He found Bobby AWOL

    there recently.


    Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a

    riot at the last camp dance when he was

    introduced to a girl who spoke real American.

    Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and

    could'nt see any one during the two dances he

    had with her'.


    "Roody" Pelton of "117" is glad to be with

    us again, but he sure misses the doughnuts and

    cofee that the Red Cross furnished the gang at

    St Nazaire.

    "Bill" Crowley and Frank White have some

    interesting stories to tell about his doughnut

    eating feats during their stay at the seaport.


    Funny how tastes in souvenirs run. Benny

    Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he

    brought back a bunch of human bones which

    he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.

    Original, at least!


    A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and

    Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before

    they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold

    and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain

    Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt

    brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied

    that the last time he had brought it, he had

    been marked duty and had to go to work on

    crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it

    without the book for once. He got his pill!


    Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.

    O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt

    take proper care of his command. He wanted

    the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his

    shoes!!


    Corp. James Regan of P.W.E.Co. 240 has just

    returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his

    whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his

    temper has been improved by the trip.


    P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is

    called the Peace Conference table on account of

    the number of nationalities represented at it:

    the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.

    Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.

    Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.

    Vitti (Italian) T.E. Theobald (English) and

    G.J. Gilbert (French).


    Corporal Hocket of "109" is at Nice, taking in

    the wonders of the Riviera district and will no

    doubt have some wonderful things to tell the

    folks along R.F.D. route when he gets back

    home.


    Private A.O. Wilson is sojourning at Cannes,

    Nice and Menton, and "109" is eagearly awaiting

    the gruesome details which "AO" is sure to

    drag back with him.


    Private H.O. Minnick of "109" is taking in the

    sights of Paris and incidentially taking in any

    stock farms that look good. "Min" is looking

    for some blooded stock for his farm in Texas.


    Notice to all sick and wounded: After theatre

    C.C. & pink pill parties will confide their trou-

    bles to Earl M. Jones of the Medics who has

    been given the title of Secretary of the Interior

    by his associates at the Infirmary.


    Mr. Engr. McFarlane of the Band is touring

    the battlefileds and "High-Flier" Jack Heins is

    the boss of the Melody Mob.



    Speaking of entries in contests, company 16

    has a man who claims to have won first prize

    at a baby show when his age was but three.

    Fagerstrom of the Camp Marines says he

    believes that the man -- Sgt. "Bull" Durham --

    could win a few prizes even now.


    Privates John Zinn, Neil Keeler, and Norman

    Weaver staged a little party in Paris last week.

    Zinn says Kipling must have been in Paris

    when he wrote "The City of Dreadful Nights"!

    "116" gets his point.


    Sgt. Frankenfield, Cpt. Armstrong, Pvts.

    Dahlgren, Rife, McKenzie, Brown and Bushman

    returned from Nice this week. Everybody in

    "116" is wondering how Armstrong found out

    about his promotion to Corporal since the order

    was issued during his absence. Second sight?


    Sgt. Cairnes of the Medics has a hard time of

    it. He has to deliver frequent lectures to

    Dewey Lennertz and Johnnie Hughes on the

    evils of african golf and vin rouge. He usually

    winds up by telling Summie to cheer up and

    remember that Napoleon was only a Corporal

    once.


    Its a good thing that Sgt. Buck Parsons of

    "119" is an expert swimmer or his obituary would

    be in the middle west papers by this time. Just

    how and why the Sarge, who has taken his

    chevrons off more times than he can count,

    came to get mixed up in water buckets is a

    secret that only Corp. Beardsley can explain.


    Two members of "119" agree that the Battle

    of Paris is no childs play. J.J. McConnehey and

    "Little Bit" Stamen left for the beautiful city on

    a 72 hour pass recently; they returned 40 hours

    later, sans raincoats, sans cash, and sans any

    desire to take another wallop at Paris.


    Sgt. Frank "Cannuck" Stocker of "119" went

    on a shopping expedition recently and returned

    with what he thought was toilet water. He

    could'nt read the French label but he took a

    chance. After he had applied it, he took a

    walk and met Sgt. G.C Gibbs who is an author-

    ity on perfumes, and wondered why Guy was

    regarding him so peculiarly. He and G.C. got

    together and the result of the conference was

    the decision that the toilet water wan'nt -- it

    was hair tonic!


    Messrs Anderson, Cowan and Mohrman,

    members of "110" who are on the Varsity team,

    report that Camp Stephenson has it all over any

    camp they've visited on any of their tours, and

    in every possible way.


    Eddie Stanton of "110" claims that Corp. Joe

    is a good fellow but not live enough for a

    companion in Vichy. He says Joe ought to

    team up with "Red" Herring who is fond of

    and travels like snails.


    It has been rumored that Private Reiche of

    ,'118" still sleeps in "full dress", he being a

    veteran advocate of preparedness, and some-

    what cold in his nature  The latest news will

    probably cause him to continue in full dress.


    Arm in arm, just like brothers, Sergeants

    Bauman and Oyler of "118" can be seen any

    day. If you see one you see the other. They

    look alike, speak alike and are alike in every

    possible way, they are inseperables. Their

    arguments are amusing, their impressions con-

    fusing but they still stick together and every-

    body's wondering why!



    Lieut. Maurice Dalis of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co. is

    Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he

    brought back a bunch of human bones which

    he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.

    Original, at least!


    A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and

    Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before

    they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold

    and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain

    Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt

    brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied

    that the last time he had brought it, he had

    been marked duty and had to go to work on

    crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it

    without the book for once. He got his pill!


    Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.

    O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt

    take proper care of his command. He wanted

    the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his

    shoes!!

    returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his

    whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his

    P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is

    called the Peace Conference table on account of

    the number of nationalities represented at it:

    the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.

    Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.

    Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.

    Vitti (Italian) T.E. Theobald (English) and

    G.J. Gilbert (French).


    Corporal Hocket of "109" is at Nice, taking in

    the wonders of the Riviera district and will no

    doubt have some wonderful things to tell the

    folks along R.F.D. route when he gets back

    home.


    Private A.O. Wilson is sojourning at Cannes,

    Nice and Menton, and "109" is eagearly awaiting

    the gruesome details which "AO" is sure to

    drag back with him.


    Private H.O. Minnick of "109" is taking in the

    sights of Paris and incidentially taking in any

    stock farms that look good. "Min" is looking

    for some blooded stock for his farm in Texas.


    Notice to all sick and wounded: After theatre

    C.C. & pink pill parties will confide their trou-

    bles to Earl M. Jones of the Medics who has

    been given the title of Secretary of the Interior

    by his associates at the Infirmary.


    Mr. Engr. McFarlane of the Band is touring

    the battlefileds and "High-Flier" Jack Heins is

    the boss of the Melody Mob.



    Speaking of entries in contests, company 16

    has a man who claims to have won first prize

    at a baby show when his age was but three.

    Fagerstrom of the Camp Marines says he

    believes that the man -- Sgt. "Bull" Durham --

    could win a few prizes even now.


    Privates John Zinn, Neil Keeler, and Norman

    Weaver staged a little party in Paris last week.

    Zinn says Kipling must have been in Paris

    when he wrote "The City of Dreadful Nights"!

    "116" gets his point.


    Sgt. Frankenfield, Cpt. Armstrong, Pvts.

    Dahlgren, Rife, McKenzie, Brown and Bushman

    returned from Nice this week. Everybody in

    "116" is wondering how Armstrong found out

    about his promotion to Corporal since the order

    was issued during his absence. Second sight?


    Sgt. Cairnes of the Medics has a hard time of

    it. He has to deliver frequent lectures to

    Dewey Lennertz and Johnnie Hughes on the

    evils of african golf and vin rouge. He usually

    winds up by telling Summie to cheer up and

    remember that Napoleon was only a Corporal

    once.


    Its a good thing that Sgt. Buck Parsons of

    "119" is an expert swimmer or his obituary would

    be in the middle west papers by this time. Just

    how and why the Sarge, who has taken his

    chevrons off more times than he can count,

    came to get mixed up in water buckets is a

    secret that only Corp. Beardsley can explain.


    Two members of "119" agree that the Battle

    of Paris is no childs play. J.J. McConnehey and

    "Little Bit" Stamen left for the beautiful city on

    a 72 hour pass recently; they returned 40 hours

    later, sans raincoats, sans cash, and sans any

    desire to take another wallop at Paris.


    Sgt. Frank "Cannuck" Stocker of "119" went

    on a shopping expedition recently and returned

    with what he thought was toilet water. He

    could'nt read the French label but he took a

    chance. After he had applied it, he took a

    walk and met Sgt. G.C Gibbs who is an author-

    ity on perfumes, and wondered why Guy was

    regarding him so peculiarly. He and G.C. got

    together and the result of the conference was

    the decision that the toilet water wan'nt -- it

    was hair tonic!


    Messrs Anderson, Cowan and Mohrman,

    members of "110" who are on the Varsity team,

    report that Camp Stephenson has it all over any

    camp they've visited on any of their tours, and

    in every possible way.


    Eddie Stanton of "110" claims that Corp. Joe

    is a good fellow but not live enough for a

    companion in Vichy. He says Joe ought to

    team up with "Red" Herring who is fond of

    and travels like snails.


    It has been rumored that Private Reiche of

    ,'118" still sleeps in "full dress", he being a

    veteran advocate of preparedness, and some-

    what cold in his nature  The latest news will

    probably cause him to continue in full dress.


    Arm in arm, just like brothers, Sergeants

    Bauman and Oyler of "118" can be seen any

    day. If you see one you see the other. They

    look alike, speak alike and are alike in every

    possible way, they are inseperables. Their

    arguments are amusing, their impressions con-

    fusing but they still stick together and every-

    body's wondering why!



    Lieut. Maurice Dalis of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co. is

    in Bordeaux visiting a brother who was injured

    at the front. The boys of his company are wor-

    ried about him since they've heard about the

    battle of Bordeaux from some of the old Forty-

    Niners.


    Some fellows get laughing ones, some get

    crying ones; some want to go home and others

    positively refuse to go home, but Pvt. M. B. Cook

    of 1st. Prov. M.T.Co brought in an original

    species the other night. He entered the orderly

    room without knocking and wanted the Top to

    help him remember where his old neighbors in

    the States lived, he'd forgotten.!


    Sgts Grannis and Snyder went and had

    themselves classified about a week ago and

    have been sitting around ever since, cursing the

    whole A.E.F. because they failed to get their

    travel orders. Its a tough Guerre on the class

    "B" guys. They're still at "121".


    Sgt. 1/cl Jones woke up the other night and

    discovered Sgt. 1/cl Anderson walking the floor

    in his nightie. 'S Matter Andy? Practising up

    for the evenings back home? "121" wants an

    explanation.


    An Ace took all the joy out of life for Red

    Swartz when Doc Hillman pulled it in at a cri-

    tical moment. The affair threatened to make

    these two associates of Sgt Lakes, deadly

    enemies.


    Top Kicker Larry Gill of Hqrs. Co took in the

    Bourges sightseeing trip on Tuesday and reports

    having a wonderful time.


    Carmen Melillo of Hqrs. has just recently

    returned from a lengthy sojourn in his native

    land, Italy. Willie tells some tales about Italy

    that would sound a little fishy if told about Paris.


    Corporal Ernest A. Fuller commonly known

    as the Alabama car-knocker of "118", just re-

    turned from a trip to and around the old Front

    Lines, and according to the way he describes

    the trip, what he did'nt see and what was'nt

    there -- that "usta" be there-gives one the

    impression that the Germans must have had

    quite destructive natures.

    -- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!


    The fine weather affects some of the gang in

    funny ways. Jake Strom of "110" was the

    healthiest man in the company during the bad

    weather but just as soon as the weather got

    nice, Jake goes and gets himself marked

    "quarters".


    Top Sergeant Carlisle of "117" is considering

    holding Reveille in front of the "Y" in the

    morning and letting such comfort seekers as

    Bobby Prince sit on the comfortable chairs there,

    during this ceremony. He found Bobby AWOL

    there recently.


    Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a

    riot at the last camp dance when he was

    introduced to a girl who spoke real American.

    Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and

    could'nt see any one during the two dances he

    had with her'.

    Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a

    riot at the last camp dance when he was

    introduced to a girl who spoke real American.

    Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and

    could'nt see any one during the two dances he

    had with her'.


    "Roody" Pelton of "117" is glad to be with

    us again, but he sure misses the doughnuts and

    cofee that the Red Cross furnished the gang at

    St Nazaire.

    "Bill" Crowley and Frank White have some

    interesting stories to tell about his doughnut

    eating feats during their stay at the seaport.


    Funny how tastes in souvenirs run. Benny

    Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he

    brought back a bunch of human bones which

    he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.

    Original, at least!


    A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and

    Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before

    they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold

    and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain

    Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt

    brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied

    that the last time he had brought it, he had

    been marked duty and had to go to work on

    crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it

    without the book for once. He got his pill!


    Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.

    O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt

    take proper care of his command. He wanted

    the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his

    shoes!!


    Corp. James Regan of P.W.E.Co. 240 has just

    returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his

    whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his

    temper has been improved by the trip.


    P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is

    called the Peace Conference table on account of

    the number of nationalities represented at it:

    the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.

    Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.

    Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.

    Vitti (Italian) T.E. Theobald (English) and

    G.J. Gilbert (French).


    Corporal Hocket of "109" is at Nice, taking in

    the wonders of the Riviera district and will no

    doubt have some wonderful things to tell the

    folks along R.F.D. route when he gets back

    home.


    Private A.O. Wilson is sojourning at Cannes,

    Nice and Menton, and "109" is eagearly awaiting

    the gruesome details which "AO" is sure to

    drag back with him.


    Private H.O. Minnick of "109" is taking in the

    sights of Paris and incidentially taking in any

    stock farms that look good. "Min" is looking

    for some blooded stock for his farm in Texas.


    Notice to all sick and wounded: After theatre

    C.C. & pink pill parties will confide their trou-

    bles to Earl M. Jones of the Medics who has

    been given the title of Secretary of the Interior

    by his associates at the Infirmary.


    Mr. Engr. McFarlane of the Band is touring

    the battlefileds and "High-Flier" Jack Heins is

    the boss of the Melody Mob.



    Speaking of entries in contests, company 16

    has a man who claims to have won first prize

    at a baby show when his age was but three.

    Fagerstrom of the Camp Marines says he

    believes that the man -- Sgt. "Bull" Durham --

    could win a few prizes even now.


    Privates John Zinn, Neil Keeler, and Norman

    Weaver staged a little party in Paris last week.

    Zinn says Kipling must have been in Paris

    when he wrote "The City of Dreadful Nights"!

    "116" gets his point.


    Sgt. Frankenfield, Cpt. Armstrong, Pvts.

    Dahlgren, Rife, McKenzie, Brown and Bushman

    returned from Nice this week. Everybody in

    "116" is wondering how Armstrong found out

    about his promotion to Corporal since the order

    was issued during his absence. Second sight?


    Sgt. Cairnes of the Medics has a hard time of

    it. He has to deliver frequent lectures to

    Dewey Lennertz and Johnnie Hughes on the

    evils of african golf and vin rouge. He usually

    winds up by telling Summie to cheer up and

    remember that Napoleon was only a Corporal

    once.


    Its a good thing that Sgt. Buck Parsons of

    "119" is an expert swimmer or his obituary would

    be in the middle west papers by this time. Just

    how and why the Sarge, who has taken his

    chevrons off more times than he can count,

    came to get mixed up in water buckets is a

    secret that only Corp. Beardsley can explain.


    Two members of "119" agree that the Battle

    of Paris is no childs play. J.J. McConnehey and

    "Little Bit" Stamen left for the beautiful city on

    a 72 hour pass recently; they returned 40 hours

    later, sans raincoats, sans cash, and sans any

    desire to take another wallop at Paris.


    Sgt. Frank "Cannuck" Stocker of "119" went

    on a shopping expedition recently and returned

    with what he thought was toilet water. He

    could'nt read the French label but he took a

    chance. After he had applied it, he took a

    walk and met Sgt. G.C Gibbs who is an author-

    ity on perfumes, and wondered why Guy was

    regarding him so peculiarly. He and G.C. got

    together and the result of the conference was

    the decision that the toilet water wan'nt -- it

    was hair tonic!


    Messrs Anderson, Cowan and Mohrman,

    members of "110" who are on the Varsity team,

    report that Camp Stephenson has it all over any

    camp they've visited on any of their tours, and

    in every possible way.


    Eddie Stanton of "110" claims that Corp. Joe

    is a good fellow but not live enough for a

    companion in Vichy. He says Joe ought to

    team up with "Red" Herring who is fond of

    and travels like snails.

    -- LITTLE "POPS" FROM THE COMPANY "VALVES"!


    The fine weather affects some of the gang in

    funny ways. Jake Strom of "110" was the

    healthiest man in the company during the bad

    weather but just as soon as the weather got

    nice, Jake goes and gets himself marked

    "quarters".


    Top Sergeant Carlisle of "117" is considering

    holding Reveille in front of the "Y" in the

    morning and letting such comfort seekers as

    Bobby Prince sit on the comfortable chairs there,

    during this ceremony. He found Bobby AWOL

    there recently.


    Bill Rarick of "117" came near starting a

    riot at the last camp dance when he was

    introduced to a girl who spoke real American.

    Bill's eyes just followed her around all night and

    could'nt see any one during the two dances he

    had with her'.


    "Roody" Pelton of "117" is glad to be with

    us again, but he sure misses the doughnuts and

    cofee that the Red Cross furnished the gang at

    St Nazaire.

    "Bill" Crowley and Frank White have some

    interesting stories to tell about his doughnut

    eating feats during their stay at the seaport.


    Funny how tastes in souvenirs run. Benny

    Martin of "120" was in Paris recently and he

    brought back a bunch of human bones which

    he claims are the remains of a Boche soldier.

    Original, at least!


    A few evenings ago, Corporals O'Rourke and

    Lovett of "120" started for the "Y". Before

    they entered, "J.J." remembered he had a cold

    and stopped in the infirmary for a pill. Captain

    Higanbothom wanted to know why he had'nt

    brought the sick book and O'Rourke replied

    that the last time he had brought it, he had

    been marked duty and had to go to work on

    crutches the next day, so he thought he'd try it

    without the book for once. He got his pill!


    Charlie Cutler is after a transfer out of Corp.

    O'Neills squad, claiming that O'Neill does'nt

    take proper care of his command. He wanted

    the Corp to lend him his razor and shine his

    shoes!!


    Corp. James Regan of P.W.E.Co. 240 has just

    returned from a visit to the "Ould Sod" and his

    whist opponents at the Bucks Club hope his

    temper has been improved by the trip.


    P.W.E. Company 240 has a table which is

    called the Peace Conference table on account of

    the number of nationalities represented at it:

    the eaters are: W.B. Warnock (Irish), S.B.

    Wydock (Polish), B. Newman (Jewish) J.F.

    Silva (Portugese) C.A. Smith (Pure Yank) Jos.
